The Center for Modern Greek Studies, the Nikos Kazantzakis Chair at San Francisco State University, has received a substan-tial gift of some $197, 000 from the Barbara James Trust, which was given “for advancing the learning of the Greek language.”

An alumna, Barbara Mevious James was raised in Palo Alto, California and graduated from Palo Alto High School in 1945. She spent the majority of her career working as a probation officer for the county of San Mateo and specialized in juvenile support services.

She was a single mother and attended SFSU at night and eventu-ally earned both her Bachelors and Masters degrees from San Francisco State. While she was taking classes at SFSU, Ms. James decided to explore an interest in her own Greek heritage by taking a Greek language class. Her experience sparked a pas-sion in Greece, which lasted the rest of her life. After visiting Greece, Ms. James realized she had discovered her true spiritual home and, at one point, even considered moving there. Though moving permanently to Greece never became a reality in her lifetime, she ultimately decided to make it her permanent rest-ing place. Her ashes were scattered throughout Greece: at the Temple of Athena, the Acropolis, the olive groves of Delphi and in Crete.

One of Ms. James ̓other passions was creating beautiful stained glass art. Many of her creations were inspired by her love for Greek culture and motifs.

Ms. James was always very proud of her education from SFSU and felt a strong connection with the university and her experi-ence with the Modern Greek Studies Program.

The faculty, staff and students of the Modern Greek Studies Pro-gram are deeply grateful to Ms. James for this extraordinary gift and only learned of her intentions after she passed away.

Michael Dukakis, Former Governor, Delivers the 4th Nicholas C. Petris Lecture at SFSU Former Massachusetts governor and 1988 Democratic presidential can-didate Michael Dukakis discussed “Health Care: The Uninsured -- 45 Million ... and Counting” for the Nicholas C. Petris Lecture on February 24, 2006.

Since June 1991, Governor Dukakis has been a Distinguished Professor of Political Science at Northeastern University and visiting professor at the School of Public Policy & Social Research at UCLA. His research has focused on national health care policy reform and the lessons that national policy makers can learn from state reform efforts, the subject of his lecture.

Governor Dukakis was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on Novem-ber 3, 1933. His parents, Panos and Euterpe (Boukis) Dukakis both emigrated from Greece to the mill cities of Lowell and Haverhill, Mas-sachusetts before marrying and settling down in the town of Brookline, just outside Boston. Governor Dukakis graduated from Brookline High School (1951), Swarthmore College (1955), and Harvard Law School (1960). He served for two years in the United States Army, sixteen months of which he spent with the support group of the United Nations delegation to the Military Armistice Commission in Munsan, Korea.

After serving in the Massachusetts legislature for four terms, he was elected Governor and held that offi ce from 1974-1978 and 1982-1988.

Governor Dukakis won the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States in 1988 but was defeated by George Bush.

After leaving offi ce in January 1991, Governor Dukakis and his wife, Kitty, spent three months at the University of Hawaii where Dukakis was a visiting professor in the Department of Political Science and the School of Public Health. While at the University of Hawaii, he taught courses in political leadership and health policy and led a series of public fora on the reform of the nationʼs health care system. There has been increasing public interest in Hawaiiʼs first-in-the-nation universal health insurance system and the lessons that can be learned from it as the nation debates the future of health care in America.

Sponsored by the Modern Greek Studies Foundation and the Center for Modern Greek Studies, SFSU, the lecture series is named after the MGSFʼs first President, Nicholas C. Petris, former California State Senator.

“Memories. From the moment heʼd set foot on this continent, memories had started to play a fugue of their own in his heart. He knew, better than anybody, that memory is our own exclusive, personal literature. We can rewrite the book, denounce the first draft s̓ lack of ma-turity, never publish it. But above all, we can start writing a new one. And in his own book, the net of the chapters had gradually started stretching, and the words, the sentences, the paragraphs were now slipping through, dropping one by one into the pit of an old narrative. His literature did not have readers any more, and the only one left had gotten bored. He had grown bored going over the same pages, the same scenes again and again. He had grown tired of remembering. Memory is what is left when something has happened but has not yet come to a conclu-sion. But he felt that his own “something” was, at this point, getting closer and closer to theend. He was returning to himself.” (2008:298)

ALL THE ANGELS ARE DYING

Human, they leave us in the brightest spring, or on the hinge of a dry season, gone as late November leaves, fallen wings wafting groundward. The caesura song of their departure discords the world. Do they think of what their deprivation leaves? This is loss, and what loss denudes: This life dimmer, that much more grieved for ourselves. Each of their blank deaths wearing the faces of our lost fathers. The darkness was lit by their frosty breaths and silvery hair. And we stand, survivors, our hands, emptied of our own lives, imploring upward, shaping the air like prayerful, absent wings.

When I was offered the chance to spend a month in Greece studying Modern Greek, I immedi- ately knew that I was going to have an experience I would remember for a lifetime. In the best way, this statement came to realization that summer in Peraia, a small town on the outskirts of Thessaloniki, the second biggest city in Greece. My journey that summer began with a few brief days in Athens, where I am lucky enough to have family that I can stay with. After that, I fl ew to Thessaloniki and made my way to the Xenia Helios Hotel, where the bulk of the program, including the classes, would be held. That first night I began meeting some of the other students with whom I would be taking classes. Out of a total of ninety-fi ve students, I was one of eight Americans. Almost everyone else was European, save for a few students from the Middle East and Korea.

Despite the diversity, making friends was not a problem, and I was never alone. The common language among us was, for the most part, Greek, which was a good thing. It forced us all to practice speaking and, as a result, we became much more confi dent in our abilities. As the program progressed, Peraia quickly began to feel like a second home. The locals were all kind and welcoming, urging us to speak Greek Amanda Cookson whenever possible.

Modern Greek Studies Foundation Co-Sponsored Events

“The Return of the Three Muses Concert” Conducted by Tikey Zes and Gus Gundunas February 10, 2008 Mc Kenna Hall, SFSU

The Modern Greek Studies Foundation and the Center for Modern Greek Studies at San Francisco State University presented a gala celebration commemorating the 25th anniversary of the creation of the Nikos Kazantzakis Chair at SFSU, “The Return of the Three Muses.”

“Gus Gundunas and the Festival Chorus and Orchestra”

Nearly 400 people attended the concert, making the event a memorable cultural and artistic expe-rience within the Bay Area Hellenic community. The program featured splendid musical performances of compositions by contemporary Greek composers, such as Mikis Theodorakis and Manos Hadzi-dakis. The artistic vision and musical arrangements provided by musical director, George Liviakis, and conductors, Dr. Tikey Zes and Gus Gundunas, were brilliant. The concert showcased eloquent and talented performances by tenor Gus Gundunas and soprano Susan Gundunas, accompanied by the sixty-member Festival Chorus and Orchestra. Part one of the concert featured a selection of cantades, sung by an all-male choir accompanied by mandolins and guitars. This section concluded with a selection of rembetika and Greek popular songs. Part two consisted of poetry readings by Pro-fessor Martha Klironomos, Director of the CMGS, and musical selections taken from Theodora-kisʼ Axion Esti based on the poem by the1979 Nobel Prize-Winning poet, Odysseas Elytis. Songs by Theodorakis and Hadzidakis were also performed as well as a repertoire of classic ballads, “I Fed You Rosewater” (“Se povthsa rodovstamo”) and “A Happy Day For Us” (“Asprh mevra kai gia ma~”) sung by Susan Gundunas and the Chorus. Part three entailed a Cretan medley dedicated to Greek writer Nikos Kazantzakis. The medley included a Cretan suite of songs and dances that combined the orchestra, chorus, and the award-winning Minoan Dancers of Marin, CA, under the direction of Vassilis Fourakis. This section included Hadzidakisʼ “Not Just an Island” (“∆en hvtan nhsiv”), the lyrics of which are based on Kazantzakisʼ novel Freedom or Death. Introductions and remarks were provided by MC, Alexia Liviakis-Costouros, Patricia Aleck, past President of the Modern Greek Studies Foundation, and Martha Klironomos. A reception followed the program, hosted by the Pan-Cretan Chapters of the San Francisco Bay Area, Epimenides, Polinaria and Ikaros, and organized by Chris and Olga Daskalakis. The CMGS wishes to thank all of the performers and mu-sicians who participated in this memorable event as well as all of the sponsors of the reception. A very special thanks to the members of the MGSFʼs organizing committee, which included Patricia Aleck, Dr. Peter and Susan Haikalis, Cleo Lekas, George Konstantopoulos, Titika Koplos, Emeritus Professor Thanasis Maskaleris, Kleon Skourtis, and to student assistant Melissa Charbonneau.

Marking the 25th anniversary of the Kazantzakis Chair gives the CMGS the opportunity to acknowledge and thank all the generous donors who have contributed to the Kazantzakis endowment fund over the years. Its establishment is owed to the initial substantial gift of $200,000 by Angelos Tsakopoulos in 1983. Subsequent donors have included Eleni Kazantzaki, the Barbara James Living Trust, George Marcus, the MGSF, the Greek Ministry of Culture, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Elios Foundation, the Costopoulos Foundation, the Oakland AHEPA chapter, several chapters of the Pan Cretan Association of America, the Roumeliot, Messinian, Arcadian, Argolidian, Cephalonian, Pan Macedonian, and the Cypriots of Northern California societies, the Daughters of Penelope, the Hellenic Law Society, the Hellenic American Professional Society and numerous individual donors, including alumni of the Modern Greek Studies Program.

San Francisco Greek Film Festivals 2006-2008

The Modern Greek Studies Foundation in cooperation with the Center for Modern Greek Studies, the Nikos Kazant-zakis Chair at San Francisco State University, has hosted three fi lm festivals in 2006, 2007, and 2008 at the Delancey Street Screening Room. The fi lm festivals screened new and independent Greek cinema, shorts and full-length feature fi lms, by such notable directors as Constantine Giannaris (Hostage), Maria Iliou (Alexandria), Layia Yiour-gou (Liubi), Christos Epperson (The 11th Day) and up- and-coming directors such as Thouly Dosios (House of Olive Trees). A number of the fi lms shown were produced by the Athens Film Center in Greece.

To commemorate the 25th year of the founding of the Nikos Kazantzakis Chair endowment, a special screening of He Who Must Die (1957) was shown. Based on the novel The Greek Passion (O Cristov~ Xanastaurw;netai) by Nikos Kazantzakis, the film was directed by Jules Dassin and starred Jean Servais, Carl Mohner, and Melina Mercouri.

The Center wishes to thank Kleon Skourtis, Maria Nicolacakis and the members of the Greek Film Festival committees for all of their efforts in organizing these very popu-lar events. A special thanks to all of the donors who helped underwrite the festival and to the numerous volunteers who gave their time.
